The impact of cold is visible in the markets and institutes of Lohardaga. The temperature has dropped significantly. The fog layer has thickened. There is silence in the markets as the evening approaches. The hustle and bustle of the market starts just after ten in the morning. In such a situation, labourers have to face problems. The labourers are facing the problem of food. They are not getting work due to increasing cold and shortening of days. People are taking help from bonfires to get relief from the cold. The Municipal Council office has not yet made arrangements for bonfires at the intersections of the city. The mercury has dropped due to the sudden increase in cold. 

The minimum temperature on Tuesday was 05 degrees Celsius, while the maximum was recorded at 19 degrees. However, two days ago the minimum temperature was 07 degrees. Weather experts say that the minimum temperature will fall further in the coming two to three days. Their argument is that the weather is not clear. There are clouds in the sky. The cold will increase further after the clouds clear. Not only this, the minimum temperature will also drop. Here the layer of fog is gradually becoming thicker. Due to fog, sunlight is coming out between eight and nine o'clock and the effect of fog starts appearing again around three o'clock in the afternoon. Experts say that the effect of fog is even more in the border areas of Latehar, Gumla and Ranchi districts bordering Lohardaga. Dr. Hemant Kumar Pandey, Principal Scientist of Krishi Vigyan Kendra, says that the effect of cold will increase further. The fog layer will also become thicker. He said that the minimum temperature here can reach 3-4 degrees Celsius.
